HOW A FRlSkY PONY RAN AWAY

An Interesting Game That May be
Played with PebbIes-Historieal Stories
About Domestic Cats, Including the
One About Dante and His Pet.
History assures us that the cat has been
esteemed from remote ages. In most eastern
countries cats have been great fayorites So
much were these animals venerated by the
Egyptians, their bodies were emhalmed when
they died and placed in inches of the cata-
combs. Numbered with well known stories
illustrative of the Egyptians love and venera-
ton Of cats is the one told of Cambyses, king
Of the Medes and Persians, who lived 529
years before Christ. This king when he led
his army against the Egyptians, is is said,
gave to each Of his soldiers a live cat TO hold
before him instead Of shield, and the
Egyptian yielded to the conqueror rather
than injure their much loved animals
Instances are on record where cats have
been taught to perform useful offices to man.
A notable one is that OF Dante and his cat.
1t is told that Dante taught his animal to
hold candle in its paw for him while he
read, and that he was very proud of his sue

An English Game.

An English exchange describes game
played by English boys and girls: A little
heap of pebbles is piled up in certain spot
on the lawn. Each person is led, in turn, to
certain distance from the heap, blindfolded,
given stick, turned round three times and
then told to start off and do his best to beat
down the little heap of stones. 1t is delicious
to see the solemn air Of some of the per-
formers, and TO watch the vigor with which
they pound away at nothing whole yards off
the place where the stones are. No matter
how you may fix their exact position in your
eye, and pace it out before you are blind
folded, ysu are certain to go wide Of it. 1t is
an odd thing, but true one.

Those who want to know something
about the daily life of a Democratic states
man should procure copy of the inven-
tory of the Tilden estate. This has been
finished, and when printed in catalogue
form will fill $50 pages. Everything on
the farm and in the house is set down in
this interesting record. The contents of
the kitchen, among which were one wash
rag, dish rag, a dozen dish towels and one
broken fire shovel, are recorded as
infinitely as those of the front hall, which
rejoiced in the possession Of hat stand,
an umbrella stand and one pair of old
overshoes.
Mr.. Tildcu's personal wardrobe is
recorded in items, and it makes an inter-
esting catalogue. The aged statesman
was the proud posscssor of 95 pair of
bifurcated undergarments and solitary
pair of SuSpenderS, which the catalogue
describes as old. He owned 81 linen
handkerchefs and 1 of silk The cata-
loguc mentions % pair of silk stockings,
pair of wooden and 1 pair of ''oldH

Life on the Texas Border.

In the evenings the men love to assem-
BILE and sing, their songs being amorous
ditties OF the more stirring patriotic airs
of Mexico These airs are sweet and
pleasant to listen to in the clear and
lovely nights, when everything seems so
peaceful and quiet. The men are far
from being demonstrative in any way, and
as class are remarkably temperate; they
are excellent woodsmcn and fair hunters.
AS may be supposed, they are very frugal
and not at all envious. Scarcely any of
them are quick motioned. Calm, de-
iberate and decent in all their every day
affairs, they form peasantry worthy of
commentator. To an American they
appear slow; perhaps they are so, but the
warm climate has good deal to do with
that. They are extremely hospitable, and
in periods Of sickness very kind. In re-
gard to diseases they ore absolutely fear
less, especially as to smallpox, goingwhere
it is known to exist without moments
hesitation, and seeming at times to really
court q chance to face that dreadful dis
ease. In consequence many of them are
pitted with pockmarks, which they are in
no way ashamed of. They have not
much knowledge of medicine, and some
of their remedies are quaint enough-as
boiled mesquite bark for fevers and pull
velrized eggshells for ague. They have
great faith in charms and amulets, as we'll
as the healing power of laying on of
hands.-Chihuahua Mex Cor. Chicago

The Demand for Cbristmas Cards.

II lost big money on Christmas and
New Years cards. said a dealer on
Broadway to reporter. "The demand
does not seem to exist for them as in
years gone by. The rising generation is
becoming so asthetical it is very hard to
cater to their dilettanteism. They seem
to suffer, as it were, from the safety of
over refinement and culture; hence the
utter impossibility to please them. i'm
ported a lot of cards from England. 1
thought they would be admired and be-
come popular. Well, I am out several
thousand dollars and have been taught a
lesson. l had some cards hand painted,
and they were really works of art.
"a young man sauntered in few days
before Christmas and asked to see some
hand painted cards. I showed him some
hand painted ones, and this is how he
questioned me: ~ -e-s, you say they are
hand painted?' Yes, at great expense
replied. who was the artist he asked,
putting an eyeglass to his left eye and
looking first at me and then at the card.
well, several artists who are skilled in
that special kind Of work. You don't
say; not Bouguereau, Geromc, Munkacsy
or any of those chaps, eh?' NO, the artist
was an ass replied holly, as the young
man, smiling blandly at my anger, de-
parted. He is but sample of many
others. Presents this Christmas mostly
consisted of rare books or articles of vertu.
The cheap cards and the expensive cards
were purchased generally by the very
young misses and boys. In future the
designs of Christmas and New Years
cards will have to be made especially to
suit the taste of the very youthful The
young men have advanced so rapidly they
require something that is OH higher art
plan than the usual Christmas cards.

superstitions About the Cricket.

Crickets,. like many other objects of
nature. have their share in literature,
and, in what lives longer, the superstition
of the people. Many believe, and all have
heard it said, that cricket singing in the
house is harbinger of good fortune. It
is not always, however, that the crickets
are regarded as lucky, and they fare
badly in consequence. Some people think
that if they are heard in the house it
presages death in the family, and means
are at once taken to drive them out
Luckily for the harmless little beast, most
of the omens are in it's favor. In parts of
England it is thought killing crickets will
bring bad luck, broken bone, lovers
quarrel, or some such calamity, and If
crickets desert house it foretells death.
AS to the insect being lucky or unlucky,
every one must decide for himself. 1t de-
Ponds entirely upon the person who hears
the cricket. If he thinks it is lucky then
the first piece of good fortune he has after
hearing the cricket's chirp goes down to
its credit. On the other hand, if he thinks
it unlucky the same process of bookkeep-
ing is resorted to, except that misfortunes
go on the other page-that is, the debtor.
